Changelog
The most important features/modifications implemented towards this season's map and functions are the following.
New! SpawnA new Survival season means a brand-new spawn to kick off the new season, and this season brings a fresh theme once again.
A Spawn and PvP Arena with a Pirate theme.
Capture the outpost for some extra rewards.
Are you looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
A new seasonal crate has been added again.
New! 1.21.8 Server VersionSurvival has been updated to Minecraft version 1.21.8!
The server now runs on the latest version, offering better performance and new features.
You can still join using older versions, but we highly recommend updating to 1.21.8 for the best experience.
New! PvP ArenaWe know how important the PvP Arena is for survival players, so of-course we can't start this season without introducing a brand new PvP Arena.
As you can see the PvP Arena contains a KOTH once again, for epic fights and great rewards.
There are multiple caves on the side to run up to the second layer, or to sneak up to your opponent to gank them.
The PvP Arena has been made in a way that perfectly suits the PvP style of Survival.
New! KOTHA fresh Team King of the Hill event has been added to the PvP Arena!
Join forces with your teammates, capture the hill, and earn a KOTH Lootbag filled with valuable rewards.
3 Daily BattlesThe event takes place three times a day, giving you several chances to secure victory and show off your team’s strength.
New! Rank ColorsPlayers with the King rank can now customize their rank color, making it easier than ever to stand out in style.
Choose a color that fits your personality and showcase a truly unique name in both chat and across the server.
New! Wind Charge CooldownWind Charges have been reintroduced to the PvP Arena, but now come with a 3-second cooldown to keep battles balanced and strategic.
You can no longer spam wind charges to easily escape PvP, but we wanted to allow players to still use them in the spawn PvP arena.
New! Homes MenuManaging your homes is now simpler than ever!
The Homes Menu gives you a clear overview of all your saved locations.
Quickly view every home in one place and teleport with a single click.No need to memorize names — everything is neatly organized for fast and convenient travel.
New! Daily QuestsSay hello to Daily Quests, the brand-new system replacing milestones as your way to earn money.
Each day you’ll receive 6 quests: 2 Easy, 2 Medium, and 2 Hard — with rewards that scale based on your player level.
The higher your level, the bigger the payout!
 Easy Quests |  Medium Quests |  Hard Quests |

New! PetsA variety of new pets have been added, each offering unique perks and abilities to enhance your gameplay.
Collect them, use their abilities, and gain an edge in different aspects of Survival.

New! Bounty HuntersThe Bounty Hunter system has arrived!
This brand-new feature highlights the top 10 players who have earned the most from bounties.
These players will be rewarded with the exclusive Bounty Hunter tag and will be permanently showcased on the Bounty Leaderboard, accessible through the bounty menu.
A competitive tag.But be warned — the tag is competitive. If you drop out of the top 10, you'll lose access to the tag until you climb your way back up.
Hunt smart, earn big, and secure your spot among the best bounty hunters on the server!
Updated! Mystery WizardThe Mystery Wizard now refreshes every 4 hours, giving you more opportunities each day to pick up rare items.
At the same time, the stock has been reduced to just 25% of what it was before, making every purchase more exclusive and valuable.
Updated! Player WarpsThe Player Warp system has been overhauled for the new season.
Playerwarp tokens are now removed — every player starts with 1 Player Warp by default, and more can be unlocked through ranks or the Goldshop (up to 8 total).
Positions based on slotsHigher playerwarp slots now also give your shop a higher position on the warp list, making it easier for players to find.
You can even purchase a Move to Top upgrade to instantly push your warp to the first slot.
Managing your warps is easier than ever with a new menu to edit, move, and link your player shops directly to your warp.
Updated! Kits & ClassesAll Kits and Classes are now given as Container Vouchers instead of directly filling your inventory.
This change makes it much easier to manage your items — simply redeem the voucher when you’re ready, and claim your rewards without the risk of overflowing your inventory.
Updated! Server PerformanceThis season comes with a range of behind-the-scenes optimizations, and we’ll keep a close eye on performance as things progress.
With these upgrades in place, the server is expected to run more smoothly, allowing us to raise the render distance and boost mob and animal spawn rates for a more immersive Survival experience.
Updated! Auction HouseThe Auction House just got a major upgrade — you can now sell your most valuable items for Pika Gold!
No more dealing with gift card trades or risky deals. With this new system, you can safely and directly sell items to other players using the official Pika Gold currency.
To list an item for gold, simply use the command:
/ah sell <price> gold
5 Gold Listing FeeTo make sure the Auction House won't be filled with a lot of random items being sold for gold we will be adding a listing fee.
In order to sell your items on the Auction House for Gold, you need to pay a fee of 5 gold per item.
It’s secure, simple, and the best way to trade high-value items on the server!
Updated! User ExperienceWe have streamlined the game’s features and given all menus and messages a complete refresh.
With this we hope to welcome more new players, as well as keeping everything simple and easy to use for returning and existing players.
A More Unified ExperienceOver time, features have piled up, making the gamemode feel disconnected.
This overhaul brings everything together, making Survival feel like a complete and polished experience again.
New & Improved GUI DesignNavigating through the game has never been easier! We’ve redesigned the GUIs to be simple, clean, and user-friendly, so you can access every feature quickly.
Key Changes:
All features are now easy to find – No more confusion!
Menus have been updated for better usability.
Messages & notifications have been improved for clarity.
Removed! MilestonesThe old milestones system has been removed and replaced with the new Daily Quests feature.
Daily Quests now serve as your main way to consistently earn money, offering fresh objectives and rewards every single day.
